<p>[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3503242, member: 78244"]Let’s take this coin for example. I can’t find any trace of wear, so I will call it uncirculated. Even if it did have a touch of wear, you would probably have to search far and wide for a <i>single</i> person who cares. If it was significantly worn, yes it would be worth less, and naturally so. It has also been cleaned, as expected from being pulled from a hoard excavated from the ground. The cleaning is not at all distracting (just light hairlining) and, again, you probably will spend a long length of your life before you find a single person who cares. What does matter, however, is the centering, strike, style, and no distracting problems (large hits, scratches, bends, etc.), and this coin has high marks for each of those categories.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dealer merely guaranteed its authenticity and spoke nothing of its grade. It still sold for the going rate. Crazy.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]928555[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
